We would all rather Christina Milian dipped it low instead of telling us to tweet things about The Voice.

A euphemism has never been used as well. Bonus points: It all reminds of us the fellow 2004 hit Mean Girls

Pre-crazy/shaved head/beating cars with an umbrella Britney. Plus, c'mon that bejeweled body outfit or her completely unrealistic flight attendant look? Perfect
